Digital camera reviews of Tripp Lite TLP810NET Protect It! Surge Protector/Suppressor 8 outlets (6 Transformers) 10ft Cord 3690 Joules
Digital camera Review: Solid well made Surge Protector
Summary: 5 Stars
Tripp lite makes some of the best surge protectors. This one is as good as they get.Digital camera Review: Appears to be good-quality product
Summary: 5 Stars
Can't say much about a product like this until lightning strikes, but it does appear to be well-constructed; has a solid feel to it. Like many other people, I needed the room for transformer-equipped electronics, but they didn't seem to be available when I bought my first surge protectors. I bought this model and Tripp-Lite's next to top-of-the-line Home Theatre surge protector at the same time to replace older, lower-joule-rated models. Am happy with both at this time.
Phone, ethernet, and cable outlets are well-placed for me, but I might prefer the power cord exit in a different location, perhaps out of the bottom of the case, since I have both of my units wall mounted.
I did a few hours of research before I settled on these. Tripp-Lite seems to have the best overall price/quality ratings from users on other forums. Most others, with the possible exception of Belkin (which are not quite as asthetically pleasing) do not have the joule ratings of Tripp-Lite. Then there's Monster....totally overpriced for the protection you get.
Digital camera Review: Tripp Lite Rocks!
Summary: 5 Stars
....like I said, it rocks. I live in the lightening capital of the Earth (Florida) and these surge protectors are a necessity. Digital camera Review: It really works!
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought one for my Dad for his computer a while back. Lightening hit a tree next to his house and a fork jumped to his roof (blew a bunch of shingles off). It ruined his TV, phone, a couple of radios and a bunch of lights. Ruined the surge protector too but it did its job, his computer was fine. Tripp Lite replaced the surge protector for free. A great product. Digital camera Review: Ideal for 8 outlets
Summary: 5 Stars
I really did look around and unless you're looking for something that does line conditioning (making sure the voltage is constant), this is the choice for you. A real line conditioner gets you up to $100+.
Pros:
Black (white looks dirty after a while)
Room for bulky transformers (de rigeur at this point) ***
Good brandname - we use this brand for top of the line computer equipment.
Cons:
Does anybody really use the coax or the phone or the ethernet protectors? My theory is that coax goes to the cable box (not mine) and that ether/phone couldn't carry a surge big enough to kill the modem (not mine either). I'd like to not have the extra space consumed by these jacks but presumably somebody wants this protection. Not really a con since some people probably use this.
If there's an engineer out there - people would definitely buy a surge protector that had a non-plastic cord. The high end braided/cloth cords (I presume they're made out of some sort of resin) are so much better. I see them on high end audio cables but rarely electric cabling. Surely, such a thing could be made and it would be much better than stiff plastic.
